In the first Test between England and India, the rain played a massive part as the match had to be halted. The former England skipper Nasser Hussain has thus opened up about the match timings for Tests in England. He stated that flexible timings should be brought in for the game. Rain interrupted the match on Day 2 and 3 of the ongoing first Test and spoiled the contest.

The teams have lost a total of 105 overs over these two days and only 16 overs can be regained by rescheduling the sessions on the remaining two days. Nasser Hussain feels that the match should start half an hour earlier than the scheduled time. Currently, the start for the Test match is 11:00 AM local time and Hussain pointed that instead of extending the time during the close of the play, the match can be started early on.

He took it to Twitter to express about the same as he brought up his older tweet and put the question of rescheduling the game in fore. The weather and bad light have often affected the matches in England. Thus, many Twitter users commented on the tweet expressing concern over slow over rate and the weather.
